What Is the Campfire Experience?
The campfire experience is exactly what it sounds like: gathering around a real campfire in the woodland to cook, eat, talk and connect. It is the oldest form of human community, and it remains one of the most powerful. At our Kent site, the campfire is the social heart of every event.
You will learn to cook over an open fire - from simple campfire bread and toasted treats to full meals depending on the event. You will learn fire management for cooking, food preparation in the wild, and the art of campfire storytelling. It is food, fire, friends and forest.
Why Experience a Campfire in Kent?
There is something primal and deeply restorative about gathering around a fire in the woods. In our digital, screen-filled lives, the campfire experience is a genuine reset. No phones, no distractions - just fire, food, conversation and the natural world around you.
Our Kent woodland at Cudham Shaws provides the perfect setting for a campfire. On our weekend events, the evening campfire is the highlight: cooking dinner together, sharing stories, and sitting under the stars. It is community in its purest form.

Real Reviews
A wonderful day getting back to nature, having fun and learning new skills. I brought my 9 year old and even though she was the only child the whole group was so welcoming to her and we both had a blast! We'll definitely go again.
What a day! I can't recommend this event enough. We had 6h of back to back activities and every single one was exemplary. James and his team are so down to earth, knowledgeable and fun. My abs hurt from laughing for 6h straight! I honestly cannot recommend this enough, incredible value and a day I will remember forever! Do yourself a favour and book!!!
Awesome atmosphere, great escape from day to day challenges. Instructors are well educated in many fields of life, literally knowledgeable about everything you could possibly think of asking. Most important it's great fun and you really feel like a member of great family, couldn't recommend that more to everyone who is looking to spark their life with new adventures. Best of all you can bring your kids with you as well, what a great opportunity for me and my son to spend a great quality time together! I look forward to next event!
